Ann's POV
I once loved someone
But then, some day, I fell in love with someone
And my heart started dancing again
And my blood racing through my veins
And then instead of hail --
the South African lands starting snowing
Without knowing
This kind of beautiful mystery
He was Handsome
He was Tall
He was Cute
He was African. He is African.
Vusisizwe Mhlekazi
I remember the day we met at the corridors
A stare shared both from within us
As if it was manufactured by our souls specifically
To make us awestruck
I felt stuck
In the idea of mesmirising too much

2026
"All I need in this life of sin,
is me and my girlfriend"
Says the line of that song by Jay-Z
As I lay there on my couch, lazy
Thinking that, maybe
I should be out there chasing money
But instead I'm here with my baby
And nothing can replace this moment
Lüderitz, Namibia
It's 2026
The sun is up,
But I'm not
My head laid on his chest,
As I can smell his ocean scent wearing out
It's beautiful
But this is a runaway
Far away from The Cape
Out on a beautiful escape
I would say it's worth it
Racist Parents
And they're conventional opinions
Are apparently a pain in the butt,
Fuck!
This ain't fucking Apartheid
The aunties in the neighborhood peeking for latest news
My mom and Vusi's mom are apparently a few
All of that crap gave us a reason to move--
--Temporarily, so we clear our heads
Get married in a fucking chapel in some Northern Cape town
Went in there with no wedding gown
With empty seats around,
But think twice if you think you'll see me frown
I am now taken by a Tall and Handsome clown
• • • •
The ocean waters consumes us now
Sweet melodies of the morning blinds our ears, loud!
Therapeutically, soothes these beautiful sounds
All in which bounds
two human souls in Love
End of Part 2
